Selena Gomez takes the stage in a bright red suit at We Day California on Wednesday (March 26) at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif.

“I am not an activist. I haven’t changed the world or led a campaign. I’m here to just tell you my path so that you can hopefully take something away from it because I don’t like being honest with press and interviews. I like being honest with you directly,” the 21-year-old entertainer said to start her speech.
